lyrics

Silent The Rotor

Strobes and oceans, blinking motion,
Ships that sink from sight.
Desperate hands chase morse code shaking
Charts, which come to life

But hidden deep in chambers sleeping,
Silent figures stir.
Woken ancients, conscious
And I wish we’d left them there
Elemental spirits take the air

Silent the rotor spins,
Would someone keep my secret?
The trouble that we’re in.

Silent the rotor, rotations and orbits,
Sins of angels, reverberation.
Strobes on water, the waves breaking over me,
Flash all stationary, revelation.
Great expector, now awaken there

Silent the rotor spins,
Would someone keep my secret?
The trouble that we’re in.
You came here unobserved
You hardly know me.
Forsake my every word.
